Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

"Yes"

Just as Chu Luo had predicted, it really was related to her.

"Any news about the person I asked you to find before?" Jin Wuchen asked.

"Reporting to the young master, Mengshan is incompetent. We've searched the entire Jiangzhou region and found absolutely no trace of whether that person is alive or dead."

Should we look outside of Jiangzhou?

"Yes, continue the secret search. Keep a close eye on the old man too; he'll be returning to Jiangzhou soon. Find out the purpose of his trip."

Chu Luo listened to Jin Wuchen's instructions to his subordinates, and every word he said shocked her.

It's understandable that he investigated her, but he also investigated the old gang leader, his own father.

They even used the canal gangs to secretly search for people.

The Ziyuntai of the Canal Gang was a place for gathering all kinds of information, whereabouts, and transactions.

Who could it be that even he couldn't find out?

Who is worth him going to such great lengths to find?

After much deliberation, Chu Luo remembered someone very important and who fit the description perfectly: Shao Sheng Fei Hong.

In his past life, the Canal Gang had been searching for him.

If it really is Shao Shengfeihong, why are they looking for him?

Could he be the new assassination target of the Grand Canal Gang?

Chu Luo has no memories related to Jin Wuchen, but some are related to Shao Sheng.

She needs to think about it carefully.

Seeing Xingzhu walking quickly towards her, Chu Luo was afraid that she would call out, so she quickly left.

She didn't hear what Jin Wuchen said next.

Jin Wuchen said, "She knows some medical skills and might make a living from it. Investigate in that direction."

Jiangzhou has been quite turbulent lately; how could an ordinary person like her disappear so cleanly?

Did he recklessly save people again, only to be killed to silence them?

Otherwise, how could they have searched the entire Jiangzhou and still not found anyone?

On her way back, Chu Luo thought to herself that she had not impersonated someone else.

She disguised herself whenever she went out, so he could investigate her.

If Jin Wuchen were to harm Shao Sheng, he would extinguish the light in the hearts of the people of Da Zheng.

That won't do; she'll find a way to stop it.

"Young Madam, did the young master give you a hard time? You don't look well."

Xingzhu came over to help Chu Luo and asked, but Chu Luo was lost in thought and didn't hear her.

"Although the young master is unapproachable, his temperament is difficult to fathom."

"But they won't mistreat us, and they probably won't mistreat the young mistress either."

"If he's unhappy, it's probably because of the old gang leader," Xingzhu secretly speculated.

"What happened?" Chu Luo asked, snapping out of her daze.

"Your marriage was arranged unilaterally by the old gang leader and the Chu family."

"The young master didn't know until two days before your wedding."

"This marriage was deliberately arranged while he was away from Jiangzhou, so that even if he found out, he wouldn't be able to come back in time. Then, they forced him to accept it, so it's no wonder he's angry."

Xingzhu was therefore constantly on edge.

Not only is the young mistress afraid of her young master's return, but the entire Jin family is also afraid.

I'm afraid he might do something bad when he comes back.

In particular, the relationship between the young master and the old leader has never been good.

If he comes back and sprays it on everyone, it wouldn't be good if he sprayed it on the young mistress.

Her young master's reputation outside the home is not unfounded or baseless.

Xingzhu was already very grateful for this peace.

This is much better than she imagined.

"What? You only found out two days before the wedding?"

"He can't get back in time. How could someone like him be forced into a marriage like this?"

Chu Luo was furious for Jin Wuchen.

She didn't want to get married either, but at least she knew about the marriage early on.

Only after refusing to resist and fighting should one compromise.

But a man like him, upon returning home, suddenly finds himself with an inexplicable wife.

If she were Jin Wuchen, with those abilities and power, she would never tolerate it.

He's still their own son, so what exactly did the old gang leader see in the Chu family?

Is he helping Jin Wuchen marry a woman from the Chu family to get revenge on his own son?

Chu Luo was puzzled.

If that's true, then Jin Wuchen's father is even more terrifying than her father.

Suddenly, I felt a pang of sympathy for Jin Wuchen.

If she were Jin Wuchen, she wouldn't just take her anger out on him, she would definitely make a huge scene.

The person is sent back to where they came from, and whoever wants to marry them can marry them.

But now, Jin Wuchen did not make things too difficult for her or take his anger out on her.

He remained calm, seemingly unaffected.

Xingzhu continued, "In the Jin family, parents have never really interfered in their children's marriages."

"I want what I like, but the young master's is the only one. I wonder if the old gang leader did this on purpose."

He didn't make things difficult for me.

Chu Luo, fearing that Xing Zhu would continue to misunderstand, explained the situation.

Right now, Chu Luo wants to figure out the old gang leader's intentions.

How on earth did they choose the insignificant Chu family as their in-laws from among so many families?

Chu Luo didn't believe that the old gang leader had saved her father and then they had become fast friends and got engaged.

Her father was the kind of person who was obsequious to important figures.

He doesn't have any big ideas, but he's quite clever in his own way.

A person who is quick to distinguish between righteousness and wickedness may find it difficult to make friends easily.

Does the old gang leader really intend to treat him as a pawn?

To challenge Jin Wuchen, to monitor and retaliate?

Jin Wuchen said that the old gang leader would be back soon.

Could it be related to this matter?

If he asks Chu Luo to do something detrimental to Jin Wuchen...

How should she choose sides and respond?

What other hidden schemes are there between the old gang leader and her father?

After all, her mother is still in the Chu family. If they threaten her with her mother, what should she do?

"If a father is not kind, can a son be unfilial..." Chu Luo murmured to herself.

As the saying goes, there are no parents who are always wrong, only unfilial children.

I'm a mother myself, but I feel that not everyone deserves to be a parent, or even any parent at all. What's the point of children being blindly filial?

Granny Jin appeared before Chu Luo at some point, and just then, she overheard Chu Luo's words and shared her own insights.

"What you say is true, Granny. Chu Luo has learned a lot."

Chu Luo thought the old woman's words made a lot of sense.

"Some principles are for others to see, while others are for you to keep in your heart and teach yourself how to live. As long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough. Don't be too rigid, young mistress."

Granny Jin had already heard that Chu Luo was being abused and bullied at home.

I was even forced to eat Viola grass, which really made me angry.

Chu Luo thought that Granny Jin was referring to the relationship between Jin Wuchen and the old gang leader.

It's unclear just how tense the father and son have become that made the matron who has served the Jin family for many years have such thoughts.

"Young Madam, the young master said you have internal injuries. I'll take you to the courtyard to get some sun; it'll be good for your health."

Granny Jin helped her to the courtyard, her movements were proper and careful, as if she was afraid of hurting her.

From that day on, Granny Jin personally took care of Chu Luo as she drank her medicine and recuperated.

It must have been Jin Wuchen who gave the order.

Fei Zhiyou really kept his word and came to see her every few days.

Every time they come, they bring a lot of things.

Food, entertainment, and skincare products.

There were also some breathing techniques, which I practiced with her.

Her health improved day by day, and her complexion became rosy and fair.

Just then, Chu Luo's mother sent someone to the Jin family with a message.

In the letter, Lu Yifu said that people outside were spreading rumors that Jin Wuchen was abusing Chu Luo.

They have already severely injured Chu Luo and imprisoned her in the mansion.

It took multiple visits from renowned doctors to save his life.

She was very anxious, but the Chu family wouldn't let her leave the house.

She wanted to know how Chu Luo was doing.

Chu Luo hurriedly called over the messenger, who was indeed Xiao An, who always delivered messages and ran errands for her.

"Girl, it's so good to see you're alright! Your aunt was almost sick with worry. That Caiyun clearly went into the Jin family with you, so why is she spreading rumors back home?"

Xiao An was relieved to see that Chu Luo was alright.

Tell my mother the truth about what happened here; they haven't mistreated me.

Chu Luo then asked about her mother's situation.

"When the young lady first got married, both the First Madam and the Eldest Miss were still somewhat wary of her."

But once they learned that you were not valued and were being abused in the Jin family, they had no more scruples.

"And what about my father? Does he just let my mother be bullied?"

"Ugh"

Xiao An sighed.
